NRG Short Hub Adapter - Honda EK9 Civic Type R / S2000 / Prelude (SRK-130H)

Bring your aftermarket steering wheel closer with the NRG short hub adapter. Designed for the Honda EK9 Civic Type R, S2000, and Prelude, the SRK-130H is a vehicle-specific hub adapter that connects your aftermarket steering wheel or NRG quick release to the factory steering column — with a short design that reduces the steering column depth and positions the wheel closer to the driver for a more aggressive, race-inspired driving position.

Important: This hub adapter is designed for use with an aftermarket steering wheel and quick release. Removing the factory steering wheel eliminates the factory airbag. Ensure your vehicle is compliant with local regulations before removing the factory steering wheel and airbag system.

What is a Hub Adapter?

A hub adapter (also called a boss kit or steering wheel hub) is the interface between the vehicle's steering column and an aftermarket steering wheel. The factory steering wheel bolts directly to the steering column via a splined shaft and retaining nut, with the airbag and horn wiring integrated into the assembly. An aftermarket steering wheel uses a standard bolt pattern (typically a 6-bolt NRG or Momo/Sparco pattern) that does not match the factory column. The hub adapter bolts to the factory steering column splines on one side and provides the correct aftermarket bolt pattern on the other, allowing any compatible aftermarket wheel to be fitted to the vehicle's specific steering column.

Short Hub — Why It Matters:

Standard hub adapters add a fixed amount of depth to the steering column, pushing the steering wheel further away from the driver. A short hub adapter minimizes this added depth, keeping the steering wheel as close to the factory position as possible — or in some cases, closer than the factory wheel. For drivers who prefer a close, aggressive driving position with arms slightly bent at the wheel, a short hub is the correct choice. The reduced depth also improves sightlines to the instrument cluster on some vehicles, as a standard hub can push the wheel high enough to partially obscure the gauges. For EK9 Civic Type R, S2000, and Prelude builds where a close, sporty driving position is desired, the NRG short hub is the preferred option.

NRG Quick Release Compatibility:

The SRK-130H is designed to work with NRG's quick release systems, which allow the steering wheel to be removed and reinstalled quickly without tools. A quick release is a popular addition to track day and performance builds for two reasons: it allows the driver to remove the steering wheel for easy entry and exit in a car with a roll cage or tight cockpit, and it provides a theft deterrent by allowing the wheel to be taken with the driver when leaving the car. NRG's quick release systems attach to the hub adapter on one side and the steering wheel on the other, with a simple push-button or collar release mechanism. The quick release and steering wheel are sold separately from the hub adapter.

Airbag Deletion — Important Safety Note:

Installing an aftermarket steering wheel and hub adapter requires removing the factory steering wheel, which eliminates the factory airbag. The airbag is a critical safety system that provides significant protection in frontal collisions. Removing the airbag increases the risk of serious injury or death in a collision. This modification is intended for track-use vehicles or builds where the driver accepts the associated safety trade-offs. Many jurisdictions have regulations regarding airbag deletion on road-registered vehicles — verify local regulations before proceeding. If the vehicle is used on public roads, consider whether the safety implications of airbag deletion are acceptable for your specific use case.

EK9 Civic Type R, S2000, and Prelude — Platform Context:

The Honda EK9 Civic Type R, AP1/AP2 S2000, and fifth-generation Prelude are three of Honda's most celebrated performance platforms, each with a dedicated enthusiast following and extensive aftermarket support. The EK9 Civic Type R is the lightweight, high-revving hot hatch that defined Honda's performance philosophy in the late 1990s. The S2000 is Honda's legendary rear-wheel-drive roadster, known for its 9,000 RPM redline and razor-sharp handling. The Prelude is Honda's front-wheel-drive sports coupe, popular for its ATTS torque-vectoring system and strong B-series and H-series engine options. All three platforms share the same NRG hub adapter fitment, making the SRK-130H a versatile choice across Honda's performance lineup.

Perfect For:

• Honda EK9 Civic Type R builds wanting a short hub adapter for aftermarket steering wheel installation
• Honda S2000 AP1/AP2 builds wanting NRG short hub for close, aggressive driving position
• Honda Prelude builds requiring hub adapter for aftermarket steering wheel fitment
• Track day builds wanting NRG quick release compatibility on EK9, S2000, or Prelude
• Anyone installing an aftermarket steering wheel on a Honda EK9, S2000, or Prelude

Perfect For: Honda EK9 Civic Type R, S2000, and Prelude builds requiring NRG short hub adapter for aftermarket steering wheel installation, reduced column depth, and NRG quick release compatibility.

Pro Tip: Always disconnect the battery and wait at least 10 minutes before working near the airbag system — the airbag capacitor retains charge after the battery is disconnected, and accidental airbag deployment during installation can cause serious injury.
